[b]2[/b] - i am planning on buying a habistat mat stat 100w for my hactchie. when he/she gets bigger and i move it into a viv, will i require a different stat? my logic says no, just a larger mat (that doesnt exceed 100w) but i thought i would check. [b]3[/b] - pulse, dimmers and off/on. i understand the differences between all three. the mat stat 100w is off/on. i know this isnt the best as temperatures drop and rise all the time by a few degrees. on/off must be ok though right or it wouldnt be on sale? is a dimmer overkill? would a dimmer stat be a better long term investment? clarification of my questions would be much appreciated [:D] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
